My practice explores textiles as emotional systems using weave, print, colour and material to investigate how feelings can be visually and physically experienced through textiles. Working across woven structures, beading, print and constructed surfaces, I create tactile pieces that sit between textile, object and installation. My current work focuses on emotional signalling, influenced by public information systems such as road signs, warnings and coded visual language.

I am interested in the tension between systems designed to create clarity and the reality of emotional experience, which is often layered, unstable and difficult to communicate. Using questionnaires and colour theory influenced by Josef Albers, I explore how people emotionally respond to colour, texture, rhythm and visual overload. These responses are translated through repetition, distortion, density, material contrast and colour interaction, shifting between calm, happiness, pressure and overwhelm.
